Tot	i'd like to have a switch command like in dota and i got everything (vote, etc.) exept its core, cause i don not know how to switch the players

Opossum	Could you explain "switch command" to those who never actually played DotA? :\

chobibo	switch player a with player b, giving a b's units and giving b a's units.

Tot	completely change players give all units, etc and the playerposition of player a to player b and vice versa --> only controller and name stay the same for the both players, everything else is changed @chobibo: today you're something between a nemesis and a guardian angel cause evertime I start a reply to a thread your posting before me

chobibo	Shouldn't this be on triggers and scripts? Maybe because my post count - 2 is 666? LoL just kidding.

Opossum	Uh well I guess you'll have to change every aspect manually as I doubt there's such thing as "switch players". Change unit ownership, color, team, alliances and all variables that are associated with players. I don't see another way for this.

Tot	yep, problem is how to change it manually via triggers @chobibo: maybe, dunno its a general question how to make it, not a specific question to the triggers as i said i dont know, i'm not a moderator

JASS:

native SetUnitOwner takes unit whichUnit, player whichPlayer, boolean changeColor returns nothing
native SetPlayerColor takes player whichPlayer, playercolor color returns nothing
native SetPlayerAlliance takes player sourcePlayer, player otherPlayer, alliancetype whichAllianceSetting, boolean value returns nothing
native SetPlayerTeam takes player whichPlayer, integer whichTeam returns nothing

That should be enough. Just do some testing and see if something's missing for a complete switch.

Tot	and how to switch players player id eg. before switch player a is player nr2 player b is player nr8 after switch player b is player nr2 player a is player nr8

08-05-2009, 07:57 PM	#10
Opossum	You can't change those. You'd have to use custom player ids for that and use those instead of GetPlayerId.

Tot	ok, i grant you that i wanna make something nearly impossible (for someone without a good knowlege of JASS/vJASS) !!what's possible in dota must be possible in every other map!! will continue tomorrow to get this working, bye

Sophismata	For all we know, blizzard added a secret custom DotA-only playerswitch native... (Yes, I know that this isn't actually the case. The stuff with 1.24 and DotA shits me, though.)

ok, but how to use it (hack dota?)

what if i fake the player position of the switching players with a integer array containing the "player number" and use this number instead of normal player number. would this affect the statistics?

Sophismata	Huh? I was joking about the switching thing. All you need to do is think of everything that defines a player in your map - in DotA's case, it is the hero, player, items, gold, circle of power and the team. So, those are swapped over, cosmetic changes are made and everything is fine.
